Streetlights - Rocky Votolato

We can go and walk in the darkness

Get relief at each streetlight

I don’t know how much it would cost us

Probably more than I’ve spent in my whole life

On these silly ideas

That waste more time than I had to lose

When I woke up this morning

Seems like I’ve got so much more to lose now

Than I ever had before

Before

Little beanie-bean with the calculator keys

Can he add it all up

Make it all make sense to me

I’ve got no idea

How much more time

I’ve got left if I can’t get my mind right

The simplest little melody has got me all

Tangled up in knots

I’m tangled up

We can go and walk in the morning

We don’t need streetlights, just a new start

Not paralyzed by appearances

With big ideas and just way too smart

To walk around

On the surface when there’s an ocean

Just beneath its blue-green smile

All the while nothing stopping me from jumping in

And sinking fast

I’ll sing you to sleep first
